Today we received word from the U.S. Department of Education that Graveraet Elementary School in the Marquette Area Public School District has been designated as an Exemplary High Performing Schools National Blue Ribbon School for 2021 by the U.S. Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona. Graveraet is one of 325 schools in the Nation, one of 13 schools from Michigan, and to the best of our knowledge the only school in the Upper Peninsula to be recognized with this prestigious award.

As many of you already know, just prior to our BOE meeting the Marquette County Health Department issued a Mask Order for Pre-K through Sixth Grade effective this Thursday, September 23, 2021... The MAPS COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan remains fluid and flexible and continues to evolve based on the most recent data, recommendations and orders from public health officials such as the above-mentioned mask requirement, collaboration between local districts, and communications from families...

effective Tuesday, September 7, 2021, MAPS will be requiring facial coverings to be worn by preK-12 students, staff, and bus drivers during school transportation.

We are pleased to inform you that Marquette Area Public Schools will be participating in the Seamless Summer Option as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the School Year 2021-2022.
